Thanks for that proposal. Of course, everything runs as expected, the 
only thing is that the message window always has gadgets here, and I 
cannot explain why. In the properties, I set this window to "Border - 
None" and the gadgets disappear in design mode. But when the window is 
called like in the example, it does have gadgets...
